There are some tools that should be on our system that perform automated tasks that do not require much intervention. Security tools offer this facility. They enable us to constantly monitor against the latest threats when we open files, run software or browse the web. However, we do not apply this theory to our drive and our hard drive is like the heart of our PC. Just about any other component can fail and we can still access our important work and data. If the hard drive goes down, we're stuffed. For this reason, we should be more proactive in the way we look after our drive contents.

Paragon Hard Disk Manager 2008 Suite is a collection of tools that will enable you to backup your drive data, clone a partition, optimise and defragment the contents, partition and even cleanse and wipe the contents, if you choose to sell your PC. Best of all, it ships with a 3-PC license, which means you could install across your home network and keep every PC maintained.
